will begin the process of identifying a
child as closely as possible according
to your request as to age and gender
that was presented on your Petition to
Adopt.

travel to meet the child and receive all
information about the child, which has
been chosen for them.
It is
no longer possible to send information
about the child, including pictures,
video and medicals to the family prior
to their trip. After your
acceptance of the child, you await for a
court hearing, which will finalize the
adoption. The adoption is finalized and
the child becomes officially yours on
the first trip!!!

CHI representative will meet you in
Kazakhstan to take you to the orphanage
in your child's area and guide you
through the finalization of the adoption
process.

American Embassy.

be here to serve you as long as you need
us.
7. We
will continue to work with you through
the post-placement process. Kazakhstan
requires adoptive families maintain
contact with CHI in order to complete
the post-placement process.
